Understanding Physics

by Gerald Holton, F. James Rutherford, David C. Cassidy, et al.

Book Overview

The course covers almost exactly the topics recommended in the National Science Education Standards and the Project 2061 Benchmarks. The text is intended for a full-year course, but the first half begins with a discussion of topics from 20th century physics before turning to Newtonian mechanics, and is thus suitable for use in a single term. An instructor guide and a student laboratory manual complement the text.
